On Twitter, we're remembering Pearl Harbor and recapping Scandal

Good morning it's December 7th and, yes, it's still a day that will live in infamy. Seventy-one years later, Pearl Harboris attracting a fair amount of search traffic on the Internet. Things should pick up photo wise as remembrances get under way in Hawaii later this morning.

We're mostly relying on Twitter today because Google is being a bit stingy this week with the trends. The search giant hasn't updated its hot trends data since Tuesday. I know we all love the Victoria Secret Fashion Show, but I'm thinking America has finally moved on to something else.

So based on Twitter, Baltimore seems to love Scandal. I'm referring to the TV show here, but I'm sure we enjoy the general concept as well. Kerry Washington's Olivia Pope had a big night and juicy stuff happened that I won't dare spoil. Meanwhile, college football coach Butch Jones (love the name dude) is moving on to the Tennessee Volunteers.

Other loose ends: The first same-sex wedding photos from Washington state are gaining traction, Japan has avoided another potentially damaging tsunami, and year end content is slowly rolling out. Buzzfeed pretty much has produced the only real year-end list you need to see, "The 40 Most Influential Corgis of the Year."
